The four drawings attributed without convincing reason to Cochin are in the Louvre." (C. Michel).

The third song features an apparition of Rabelais, who invites the author to pay him a visit. 2) First edition. C. Michel, Cochin et le livre illustré au XVIIIe s., no. 195. "Four vignettes of children's games, drawn by Pierre, engraved by Cochin fils. Nine in-8 size prints, 1 frontispiece and 8 plates drawn by M. Pierre, eight of which etched by M. Watelet, to which M. Cochin fils gave a few touches in different places on the varnish, before making them bite, & then made a few repeats with the burin in the places missed by the etching. The ninth print, La timidité d'Aminte, is engraved entirely by Cochin fils." (C. Michel). Roman à clef by an author who was a collaborator of the Encyclopédie.
